Barrow boy

Chandrasekhar gave a talk on white dwarfs and their size limits at the Royal Astronomical Society in January 1935.

Eddington was wrong, but everyone believed him instead of this young man from a distant country. http://kids.msfc.nasa.gov/Pioneers/chandra/Chandrasekhar.asp Nov 11 02, 10:11 PM
